Chapter Ten: Late night sisters talk

Siblings: Sabrina, Madeline and Nell.

Setting: After chapter three of Autism.

"Madeline you awake?" Sabrina asked with a yawn as she uncovered herself.

Madeline nodded, stroking her doll's hair. "It's not time to be night night."

"I agree. You sad for Elena?" Sabrina hoped with a smile.

"Little but what I'm worried about is how Gabby is seeing Nell and Bobby Lee kissing," Madeline confessed with a frown. "I mean how is she leaving her crib at night night time?"

Sabrina shrugged, kicking her feet. "Elena's who I'm worried for."

"Why?" Madeline wondered as she dropped her doll.

"Maddie, Elena was changing Gabby's diaper. That's not what a baby does!" Sabrina sighed in frustration.

"But you changed my pull ups," Madeline reminded her sister with a giggle.

"True but I'm just scared for her," Sabrina admitted as Madeline took her hand.

"Come on! Nell would know do! Let's go visit her!" Madeline suggested with a smile.

"But Madeline we're the supposed to be sleeping!" Sabrina pouted with a cross of her arms.

"Nell won't mind!" Madeline laughed as both girls left the room.

They walked into Nell's room. Seeing her asleep the girls frowned as Madeline started jumping in Nell's bed.

"Huh? What?" Nell wondered with a yawn before spotting her sisters. "Girls what is it?"

"Nell, we aren't sleepy so we came to visit you!" Madeline giggled with a smile.

"Nell will Elena be okay?" Sabrina asked in concern.

Nell was almost furious at the girls for being woken up but her face softened as she saw Sabrina's lip quiver.

"Oh girls I don't know to be honest," Nell answered, taking her sisters in her arms.

"Nell how did Gabby see you and Bobby Lee kissing?" Madeline wondered with a smile.

Nell laughed softly, stroking her hair. "I'm wondering that too."

"Maybe she walked over to play with you and saw it!" Sabrina suggested with a giggle.

Nell laughed again, kissing her cheek. "Could be Sabrina."

"Nell who's that big dolly for?" Madeline wondered with big eyes, pointing to the wall.

"Me honey," Nell explained with a yawn, smiling nostalgically.

"Why?" Sabrina asked in confusion as Madeline tried to play with it.

"Come on dolly let's play dress up while Nell night night!" Madeline yelled with a giggle, hugging the doll close.

"Madeline, put her down!" Nell scolded, slapping Madeline on the hand.

"But why?" Madeline asked, looking away from her sister.

"Yes Nell why?" Sabrina wondered before she started to giggle. "You aren't playing with it and toys are meant to be played and cuddled with until you're um eighty two I think."

"Girls it's special to me like you two are," Nell explained with a smile.

"Like Elena is to us?" Madeline asked, jumping up and down.

"Yes Madelin but whoa! How did you change the doll outfit?" Nell wondered in shock, not expecting it to happen.

"From the dolly dress up bag she came with!" Madeline shouted with a giggle."See Nell you need to keep Bell happy by dressing her!"

Nell could only laughed, patting her head as she noticed tears down Sabrina's cheeks. "Butterfly Love Bug will be alright."

Sabrina shook her head in denial. "Elena will not!"

"How honey?" Nell asked with a smile, kissing her cheek.

Sabrina didn't answer, hugging her knees as Madeline hugged her close.

Nell watched them for a few minutes before making room in her bed.

"Just this one night girls," Nell muttered, poking their noses playfully. "Remember I'm a mommy you know."

Madeline smiled happily as she clapped her hands. "We know Nell. You sound more like a mommy every day!"

"Well put Madeline!" Sabrina shouted, smiling happily.

The girls giggled as Nell poked their noses again.

"But I'm still your sister!" Nell yelled with a laughed as she playfully jumped on them, tickling their stomachs.

"Nell you tickle good!" Sabrina laughed, nearly in tears. "My worry for Elena is gone!"

"Told you Nell would help us!" Madeline giggled, holding her legs close.

"Madeline everything okay?" Nell asked, stopping her tickling.

"No I need to go potty," Madeline answered with a groan.

"Come on. I don't want my sheets wet," Nell softly beckoned as she carried Madeline to the bathroom. "I'll be out here if you need me."

"Nell Madeline hasn't been well going since you been busy with Elena and Gabby this week," Sabrina explained as Nell groaned softly.

Madeline banged on the door, crying out in pain. "Nell I need your help!"

"Coming Madeline!" Nell yelled, standing beside her sister. "Come on sweetest just a little bit."

"Okay," Madeline muttered as she started to go.

Sabrina laid down on Nell and closed her eyes while Madeline finished going as she yawned, looking at Nell with sleepy eyes.

"Okay Madeline time for bed!" Nell yelled before she chuckled softly. "Well Sabrina's asleep."

Carrying her two sisters in bed, Nell got beside them before falling asleep herself.

In the morning Nell awoke to hearing a small chuckle from her boyfriend.

"Bobby Lee quiet!" Nell whispered in a hushed voice. "You'll wake up Sabrina and Madeline."

"I'm sorry Helen but this is just precious seeing you three like this," Bobby Lee confessed with a smile as Elena crawled to Nell, tugging on her nightgown.

"Hungry huh?" Nell wondered as Elena nodded, pointing to her chest. "Okay Elena but how about some oatmeal sweetheart? Come on."

Elena giggled as she flapped her arms, reaching out to kiss her aunts.

"Gabby!" Nell and Bobby Lee laughed with smiles on their faces, trying to let Elena and Gabby be innocent for as long as they could.

Madeline wiggled but still slept on without waking as Sabrina woke up, wondering what time it was.

Nell could only laugh in response as Elena pulled on Sabrina's hair.

"Play! Play!" Elena yelled, clapping her hands.

Sabrina laughed, patting her head gently. "Okay okay Elena let Nell feed you oatmeal then we can play in the garden!"

Elena smiled, flapping her arms in response. "Yeah!"
